5 Algae Sub-System Produces Algae Oil, Starch, Protein Algae Waste Streams Algae Inputs Nutrients Sunlight CO2 Algae Reactor Microalgae is the most primitive plant form - typically one or two cells. This simple structure allows algae to be very efficient at converting sunlight, CO 2, and nutrients into oil (for biodiesel) and starch (for ethanol). CO 2 and NOx are consumed in the bioreactor by algae through photosynthesis and other biological processes. Algae are suspended in water with nutrients from the anaerobic digester. Phase 1 onsite algae study completed 5

6 Gallons of Oil per Acre 8, Soybean Sunflower Canola Algae Greater Profitability Utilization of co-products from one facility as a feedstock for another facility Shared infrastructure resources such as rail, road, and gas line access Shared management, back office, and maintenance resources Transportation benefits Power plant co-location advantages Over 160 new jobs Projected Capital Cost $399 Million Algae $55,000,000 Digester $25,000,000 Dairy $53,000,000 Biodiesel $66,000,000 Ethanol $200,000,000 6

7 Environmental Benefits Carbon utilization technologies and associated carbon credits Utilization of waste streams as feedstocks Comprehensive approach to water reuse and reducing natural gas use Reduction in green house gas emissions (CO2 and methane) Other emission reductions Water treatment and possible zero waste water discharge Market Resilience Use of co-product feedstocks to hedge against market fluctuations Development of new oil and starch sources for biodiesel and ethanol Processes to reduce operating cost such as local delivery of wet distillers grain Portfolio approach to bioenergy technology & agricultural products Single owner model allows ability to flex with the market 7
